Hi everyone, this is AJ with a quick update for Learn Real English.
Kristin, Joe, and I are now all back home in San Francisco and ready to do more work!
One of the first things we’ll be working on is the Learn Real English Podcast. All three of us will begin adding podcast episodes soon (starting in May)… so you’ll get to hear all of our voices 
In the podcast, we’ll talk about real English conversation and how it is different than school English or the formal English you learned from textbooks. We’ll also discuss our teaching methods and our future projects.
Of course, the most powerful thing about Learn Real English is that these lessons teach you “real conversation”– the everyday idioms, slang, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary used by regular people in regular conversations. This “real English” is remarkably different than the formal English you have studied in school. The grammar is different (much looser and more flexible), the vocabulary is different (much more slang, more idioms), the pronunciation is different.
Syntax is also much different– in other words, the way we create spoken English sentences is very different than the way we create written English sentences. Most English teachers in most schools in the world actually teach their students to speak WRITTEN English– a very formal and rigid style of English.
But native speakers, in fact, use a very fast, flexible, fluid form of spoken English. We rarely use complete sentences, we change topics often, we interrupt and are interrupted, we pause, we create new words and new contractions, we ignore many so-called grammar “rules”.
So, if your goal is to speak real English to real people, it’s time for you to learn real English conversation. Get our lessons, read this blog, and starting in May, listen to our new podcast– and you will improve quickly!

Hi Mr.A.J.
I thrust in your system, and I’m trying to follow your advice.
In the last two years, I have been working sometimes in England.I have problems to understand or speak English from or with native English peoples.
I have 63 years old, I’m not very young and I’ll have retired to pension soon in Romania.
Sincerely, I’m not very motivated to be a good English speaker, but I’d like to try your system, and improve my English. Many thanks for your
help.

August 1st, 2009 at 9:55 am
Hi,
thank u for sending me such great ideas to improve my English. I’m sure I’ll be much better in speaking if I follow those rules. the problem is that I speak very formal English and I am really good at that. what I need is learning how to speak just like natives do.fluency is No1 in my list and I really wish that people won’t be able to recognize that I am not a native speaker when I speak “very soon”. Although, they say I do speak like them but I won’t be satisfied unless I achieve what’s in my mind !
August 8th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
I´d like to know what different between LEARN REAL ENGLISH LESSONS
and EFFORTLESS ENGLISH LESSONS.
And other think, if I can pay with no international credit card (In Brasil).
Thank you, I hope I get the answer
[JoeWeiss 11 August 2009] Hi Natasha. Effortless English lessons are geared towards high beginner to low intermediate levels. They have a text article on a topic, a mini-story lesson and point-of-view stories. Real Conversations lessons from Learn Real English are based on real English conversations. They focus on a lot of idioms and slang, which make them geared towards intermediate to advanced levels. Real Conversations lessons from Learn Real English contain a real English conversation, a vocabulary lesson, a mini-story lesson and point of view stories. Both Effortless English and Learn Real English use the same teaching methods.
We use PayPal to process our payments. PayPal accepts international credit cards and also allows people to pay using a bank transfer (for the bank transfer you must create a PayPal account but it is free to create the account).
I hope this helps to answer your questions. Good luck with your English learning!
August 12th, 2009 at 2:28 am
my english is not really poor,,quit good…heeee,,
August 12th, 2009 at 11:30 am

Our Real Conversations lesson package contains 30 lesson sets.
Each of these 30 lesson sets contains 4 audio files (mp3) and 4 text files (pdf) which are the transcripts of the audio files. I will describe these files for you:
1. a real English conversation between 2 speakers; there is both an mp3 audio file and the transcribed text file (a pdf file).
2. a vocabulary lesson; there is both an mp3 audio file and the transcribed text file (a pdf file).
3. a mini-story lesson; there is both an mp3 audio file and the transcribed text file (a pdf file).
4. point of view stories; there is both an mp3 audio file and the transcribed text file (a pdf file).
After purchasing you will receive an email with a link to download all of the course materials immediately. No course material is sent in the mail. These course materials are yours to keep for life.
Good luck with your English studies!

oh sir I forgot to ask u
u told us in the 7th rule to speak to a native speaker and ask him
but here in my area or in my country in general there’s no native speakers
what should I do??

[PeterJungs 1 April 2010]
It can be difficult to find native speakers with the time and inclination to help a student learn English. That is why we created Real Conversations available at http://www.learnrealenglish.com

THANKS.
May 23rd, 2010 at 4:12 am
I interested in listening to your listens (first pakage). they are very good. I liked it.
I think you should suggest to your students to listen to some programs in English or watch some siers movi like friends for example.
even if they don’t understand they would get used to listening to some English words or grasp some expersions which are used daily or most of time.
thanks.
